Mega Mouse Meet 2008

The Mega Mouse Meet is the BIG one. It is where all the people who are hosting Mouse Fest events or just along to enjoy the events gather to find each other and new people too. With about 1000 people in attendance you are sure to make friends to meet up with. I can honestly say I have never been to something like the Mega Mouse Meet before. Tables were set up along the perimeter of the room with the hosts and authors greeting people, handing out goodies and giving away prizes. Those who were registered for Mouse Fest were able to enter to ballroom an hour earlier than other guests and were given snacks and drinks. I have to give props to the Mouse Fest coordinators the snacks were really good. Norwood and I both enjoyed the soft pretzels (one filled with apple and the other with pepper jack cheese). After grabbing a few snacks we joined a few people at a table. While people ate or walked around from table to table Dave Marx from Passporter called out raffle numbers and gave away some neat prizes. I myself won a Deluxe 2009 Passporter. I think that was the first time I have ever won anything. It is a very neat little guide set up in planner style and my copy just happens to be autographed by the author. Very cool!

As I walked around from table to table I was amazed at all the different Disney communities out there. One of the communities I discovered through Mouse Fest was Tagrel.com. They are a nice community that encourages friendship and cast member appreciation. While I was at the Photography 101 meet I met one of their members Will and he told me to check them out so the next day I found their site online and signed up for their community. While at the Mega Meet I told them how I just signed up the night before and to welcome me to the community they gave me a special little Tagrel pin…



Thanks so much Tagrel! There were lots of interesting people to meet at the Mouse Fest Mega Meet tomorrow I will tell you more about some of the interesting folks Norwood and I meet.
